FIRE DEPARTMENT MEETING,
The Firemen Have a Consultation About
Their Funds.

Pursuant to the official call, the Chey-
enne fire department held a meeting last
evening at the city hall. A few words
will explain the object oil the meeting and
what was done.
Within the department there has been
a supplemental association known as the
Relief Association. This society has sew
eral hundred dollars in money in the
hands of the treasurer, but it seems in
good part to have lost its organization,
as of late (for two or three years. the of
ficers of the association elected have failed
to qualify. Jhe trustees of the relief So
ciety are elected from each and
with the exception of one c~ompany-thc
Durants-the companies of the depart
ment failed at the last election to choose
trustees. The department now desires to
use its money and call it out of the Relief
Association, where it is not needed, for
ether purposes. The question now is as
as to whom the money shall be turned
over by the treasurer, and upon this point
there seems to be a difference of opinion,
and for the purpose of effecting some sort
of a reorganization SO that the money can
be turned over to the proper parties and
by them to the department the meeting
of last night was held.
There appears to be a great difference
of opinion among the members Of the
department regarding this point, and
there was 4 vast amount OF dis
cussion last night without definite results.
j.. G. Baird, as chairman of a special f.
nance committee, reported that the af-
fairs of the association were in an unset:
tied state, but that they could be reor-
ganized.
A committee consisting of j. X. Jeffrey,
B. f. Deitrick, j. Odell, Joseph Granger
and George Smith was appointed to sug-
gest some plan for a reorganization, and
this committee made a report recommend
ing that the meeting adjourn for one week
and that in the meantime the various
companies elect trustees of the relief asso-
citation. The report of the committee was
adopted by a close vote, and thus the
department meeting adjourned until g
o'clock on Wednesday evening next.

THROUGH A TRESTLE.
Horrible Railroad Accident in

A San Francisco Dynamiter
Found Guilty.
Outlook Of the Situation in
Russia.
Through a Trestle.

PARKERsBURG, w. Va, March To-
horrible accident happened twelve miles
from here this morning, on the Marietta
Mineral railroad. A heavy mixed train
had just passed Vincent station, when
the train was divided in order to cross
more safely a trestle ninety feet high.
The first section passed over all right,
when the engine, bearing Engineer H. s.
Vincent, Fireman Albert Bashby,
Brakeman Stewart, Conductor Jack
Mccoy and q passenger named Early,
returned for the second section. When
at the highest point of the trestle the
engine gave a sudden jerk and plunged
straight down to the abyss below, carrying
all on board with it. Vincent and
Bushby were instantly killed. Their
bodies were scarcely recognizable. Bush
by had his head severed from his body,
and one leg torn off, while Vincent was
cut in two. Conductor Mccoy was under
the wreck, pinned down by the heavy
engine. 1t was nearly halt an hour be
fore he was taken out.
In the meantime escaping steam scalded
his head, face and body. His recovery is
doubtful. Brakeman Stewart was terribly
scalded. and there are but faint hopes of
his recovery. Early, the passenger, had
both legs broken and was injured inter
nally; he is said to be dying. The place
into which the engine plunged is a yawn-
ing abyss, at the bottom of which is a
rocky stream. The section which the en-
CINE was returning for had passenger
coaches loaded, and the loss of life would
have been frightful had the accident hap
pened while returning with them.
